Does he go off on the Oscar racism stuff at all? He made passing reference in the first 30 but I had to stop listening. I was actually looking forward to hearing him go off on that topic and he did the stupid ear piece deal.

Most of that is first 30, but he keeps going back to the well for quick sips throughout.

The show opens with some HOT IFB talk, but quickly moves on to the question of how and if People Of Color are under-represented in movies.Paul defines Russell Crowe's two working modes and mini-spoils The Revenant for Neil. Sacha Baron-Cohen's appearance is explained and his appearance on the radio is praised. [Sacha on The Chris Moyles Show (MP3)]

Neil puts baby in the corner and publicists in a scroll while checking http://isabevigodadead.com/Paul tries not to be aware of date rape in Hollywood and Neil becomes more aware of breast cancer. Oscar clip theories are explored, almost as closely as Chris Rock's chameleon microphone. To close the show, Neil asks who writes Adam's questions, then talks Cobblers, Oscar snubs and ranking art.

Does Adam not realize that "Screenwriting" is more than just the dialog? That whole exchange about them picking "dialog light" clips for examples of screenwriting for the Oscars, Adam's main point seemed to be that they were bad examples because there was hardly any dialog. But screenwriting isn't just the dialog - it's all the description and setup and the whole thing. You're basically writing a play. I felt for sure I was missing something, because Adam's been directly involved in creating not one, but two movies. Surely he knows what "screenwriting" is, no?
